Energy Monitoring

Maintenance-free configuration, monitoring and diagnosing of the systems will identify potential areas of concern prior to them becoming a reality. Our home PV systems come with leading monitoring software “Victron Connect” which can be easily used via your mobile phone, or other devices running on Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS X.

We will provide training to you on the most effective operation of your equipment as intended.

Victron Connect is available on MAC, Windows, Android and Apple devices

Energy Generation

For partially or fully off-grid sites, Regenergy can supply ELe® renewable energy systems to connect to its infrastructures for maximum energy and carbon savings.

Storage & Distribution

The designs and supply of ultra-low energy DC power infrastructures. We can also provide installation support where required.

DC Electronic Devices

Regenergy can also supply a growing range of ELe® DC devices including computing equipment, lighting, air-conditioning and refrigeration.

In the conversion from AC to DC, energy is wasted as heat. The more devices you add to a Power Bar, the more efficient the overall system will become.

A method of distributing both power and data using a single ethernet cable. Our point-to-point infrastructure allows certainty and quality of distribution.

Why DC Power?

Since the early days of electricity, the globally standardised method of transmission has been AC (Alternating Current). Many of the electronic products e.g. computers, lighting, fridges and mobile devices we use every day, require DC (Direct Current).

The process to convert AC power to DC power to run these products wastes significant amounts energy and need bulky, inefficient transformers whilst costing you money every time you plug in your device

ELe® systems connect seamlessly to your EXISTING IT network with Power over Ethernet (PoE)

PoE – Ad-hoc systems which pass electric power along with data on twisted pair Ethernet Cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electric power to devices with batteries & USB

For optimised energy and carbon savings, ELe® infrastructures can utilise renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. ICT suites and other electrical devices fully powered with ELe®’s off-grid solutions can maximise energy cost savings and run completely carbon free. This clean energy solution is ideal for schools with strong sustainability goals or equally for schools with unstable or non-existent power supplies.

Generate and Store your own FREE electricity to be OFF the GRID and Energy Independent

Energy Independence is the ultimate goal for any home owner. Maximising storage is the next step to reach this goal, although the reality is that you will need to replace your battery every 5 -7 years.

NOT ANY MORE!

Super Capacitor Battery

Safer, more efficient, longer life-cycle energy storage giving you up to 45 years battery life.

Solar Panels

Adjust the number of photovoltaic solar panels to generate the necessary electricity to take your home off-grid

Hybrid Inverter

Manage energy storage and consumption in your home

Off-Grid Power System

An Off-Grid Power System is when you are not reliant on the main electricity grid provided by your local utility supplier. Excessive power generated from the solar panels, are stored in the batteries to ensure power availability when the applications usage exceeds what the solar panels are producing. The battery system is sized to achieve approximately 3 days independence. It is important to package a hybrid-inverter with this solution as it is programmed to disregard dedicated supply and only accept supply in the event there is low battery or the load is exceeding what the inverter was programmed for.

The system required would be dependent on your particular home and consumption need, therefore an energy audit is recommended to offer the suitable system for your requirements.

Generating your own FREE electricity is the next step to save 80%+ on your monthly energy spend

If you are satisfied that you have implemented energy saving strategies and you still want to try to save more monthly, then we can begin to include Energy Generation assets and some storage capacity to maximise your energy production and self-reliant consumption.

The first step is to understand what you need to generate your own energy:

Solar Panels

Photovoltaic solar panels absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity.

Inverter

This is an essential device in any solar power system. Its basic function is to change the variable Direct Current output of the solar panels into Alternative Current used in your home.

The second step is to understand the available solar power systems:

A grid-tied electrical system is a semi-autonomous electrical generation which links to the mains to feed excess capacity back to the local mains electrical grid. Grid systems do not store energy and therefore need no back up, thus no battery bank. With no storage losses, the system is are easy to monitor and measure performance. There is a benefit to you as the homeowner in the form of compensation for the energy that you put back into the grid. Through net-metering it credits at a certain rate, applied to your monthly bill for every KWh you put back into the grid.

A Multi Hybrid Power system is 2 alternative power systems working together. The one system secures backup power for “essential” needs. The grid-connected system distribute power to both the essential and non-essential applications. The system allows the full solution to function should there be a power failure. The grid-connected PV system will be sized to produce enough energy to power both essential and non-essential applications. Battery backup is sized for essential applications and standby batteries for non-essential applications if required.

The system required would be dependent on your particular home and consumption need, therefore an energy audit is recommended to offer the suitable system for your requirements.

Appliances

For a more comprehensive analysis, Regenergy offers energy audits!

We use extremely accurate data loggers and plug them on to your DB board for approximately 7-10 days to give us an exact measurement of your daily usage for each appliance in your home. Armed with this information, we can show you where your highest consumption takes place and provide an actual Rand Savings value based on energy efficient technology.
